Sorry for the inconvenience.
Matthijs, thank you very much for trying, fine to have the issue fixed in the next firmware version.

And for zooming on the DR800: I read primary PDF files, those have often large borders and so the screen area of the reader is not fully utilized and the font size to small to read. This was no problem on the Iliad, I could easily zoom in the text portion I wanted and the original layout was still there.

I help myself atm with cropping the borders of the PDFs manually before copying them on the device. But that's really a tedious process.

If I use reflow the page layout is destroyed, vector graphics are not displayed (like diagrams, there's only the text portion left).

I want to read books in their original layout. Typography and layout is an important aspect for me, even in a technical book.

So please include the zoom function in a forthcoming firmware release, it would make a lot of users very happy and potential buyers have another argument in favour of the DR800.
